other as you can slove a broke up and the determination of regional identity is not to be underestimated french unionists say they have the flag and everything else worked out to become france's twenty eighth region all that's left are the details the new bush will see brussels. well we want to know if you think the belgian people's desire to end their unhappy marriage will affect others in europe here's how you voted in our tea dot com tonight pinions another thing that's divided into it seems on whether united europe's days are numbered that so the votes are piling out thirty five percent of you think it's time to call it quits because the e.u. has been stuck together for far too long just over a quarter of you slightly more this hour believe the cracks will widen if there's a worldwide economic breakdown around a fifth of you think the e.u. is to an extra linked to go it alone the remaining sixteen percent if you believe it's immigration that will play a critical role still time to have your say the fact that graph those could hear

from you r.t. dot com is the place to have your voice heard. germany's finance minister is not at all happy that one of the key points in the greek rescue decided by e.u. leaders last week he says the eurozone fund didn't agree to blank checks for buying greek bonds and another development warning france that it needs more cuts to avoid becoming the next victim of the debt crisis economics author patrick young told me paris's problem started a long time ago. the problem is look these aren't things that have just happened suddenly i mean the french budget deficit has been in a deficit the french budget since one thousand nine hundred seventy four i mean leaves are things that have been going on for thirty or forty years it's absolutely ludicrous untruthfully governments need to stop spending and they need to be very realistic about their budgets and there are fundamental problems going all the way through the euro zone and we don't have any leaders who are willing to give us a sustainable solution this is typical of contagion we've been talking about it for

weeks we have you know when you get some degree of illness and it goes through the body ultimately you have to decide when to amputate it and the truth is we should have amputated greece from the euro zone long ago we've got the situation at the moment where provincial libraries in northern germany are being closed because the money isn't there because it's being used to fund people in the mediterranean i think german voters are going to get very angry about that very very soon and i actually think the political will is not there amongst the people to endlessly keep bailing out their saw their neighbors it's going to be a huge problem because ultimately the contagion is going to hit and i really do believe that after last week's events unfortunately we only enjoyed closer to the idea of a total euro meltdown. make america the death toll there is causing companies to cut and run. we have people in here that have worked here all of their lives in a losing jobs left and right because somebody on top wants to make

a buck and pay the cheapest possible give up sticks and gone to india or even former employees in the states stranded a jobless report on that coming up. the u.n. security council is holding an urgent meeting at serbia's request into the flaring violence in northern kosovo fresh clashes began with possibly seems to disputed border checkpoints to prevent the transit of goods from serbia serbs which dominate northern kosovo are outraged by the move destroying one of the checkpoint. thank you peacekeepers moved in to stop the violence but the situation remains tense political analyst alexander belgrade says should be free to disney fringe minority are they still as they are a. they're trying to they're trying to enforce some unilateral moves in order to change the reality on the ground to change the reality as it was as it is under un resolution security council resolution twelve forty four always still with the session is through public so in other words the serbs tore down in kosovo still

believe themselves to be part of serbia and they're acting in that capacity now the western states mostly nato states that have recognized close or treating them as a minority on the other hand states that have not recognized kosovo independence and not treating it serves as a minority but are seeing them as having equal rights as all of the citizens of serbia but we must remember that the key to this situation of course it was really in nato hands to take control militarily the entire province so really whatever happens down there is under their control and it's something that they will tolerate or not tolerate and we must also remember what happened yesterday with the burning of the border checkpoint we still don't know who actually did it these were masked men it really could have been any nationality we don't know whether they were serb albanian or french or even american we just still don't know that. suicide attack on

a government compound in southern afghanistan has left at least nineteen dead and over thirty five injured follows a string of attacks on the killing of president karzai brother and it comes as the u.s. withdraws its forces from the cia intelligence officer michael should say that the violence in afghanistan will only escalate. we're watching a charade unfold here in afghanistan the afghan army the afghan national police force are never going to be able to control the country not just because there have been trained sufficiently but also because they're divided tribal we when we are gone when nato leaves they'll go back to their tribes and they'll fight each other again so the whole the whole house of cards will come down after the united states and its allies complete their their withdrawal withdraw in defeat really ultimately what we have after ten years of effort in afghanistan is a body count that's all we don't have any measure of progress against the enemy the kind of hard story the hard fact is that we went there with one mission which was

to destroy the taliban and to destroy al qaeda and quite frankly we haven't killed enough of the enemy and their supporters to make any difference we instead tried to build a western democracy in a country that's conservatively islamic and deeply islamic and so we've failed to do that and the situation is going to remain violent and probably. detrimental certainly very detrimental to pakistan as long as we stay there as long as the ally and stays in afghanistan. former cia intelligence officer michael show we talked to. was part of long running efforts to eliminate some of the shows his experience of fighting international terrorism on our website one of the two bolivia's president talks to us tonight all about fighting against being framed. tried charging us with illegal activities with drug smuggling or terrorism for

instance to ultimately destroy us that's their plan i believe. why he feels the threat from the u.s. right now this story to come from kremlin posters appear across moscow with president medvedev portrayed as superhero captive america check out the authorities reaction to the comic book make over. the course is the same old story a financial crisis for some is an opportunity for others with money in short supply for companies in the west right now they're taking the operations dollars to the cheap east. looks next to how the american downturn is great news for india. it's the great recession of the twenty first century what started as a collapse in the housing market in the united states has led to unemployment

hunger and debt crises around the world and while countries are struggling to protect their interests increasingly western businesses are shifting their work east to cut costs welcome to guard down a modern shopper about new delhi everywhere you look there are options of american companies at the kind of the importance the united states has placed on this country during the financial crisis according to rethink outsourcing reports american companies have been preproduction the country and much of that been down even in the past three years. kerry of corporations is a multi-billion dollar american heating and. insolation company they say that over the past decade their business has shifted from being seventy percent us base to just forty percent today removing consciously in that direction so the idea is to have a good balance it's not about being focused on one market together but having a good balance and obviously you know merging markets like india china and asia as such continue to be called areas for us globally. and carrier isn't alone according

to the u.s. department of commerce the same number of jobs that have been cut from the united states in the last decade have been added to these companies overseas operations it's a phenomenon that angers many americans who are struggling to make ends meet i think it's despicable disgusting and we have people here that have worked here all of their lives in a losing jobs left and right because somebody on top wants to make a buck and pay the cheapest possible deal are mine dollars to go to stimulate the economy here in america i think american companies should hire american workers one . because of the shrinking middle class and the fact that middle class wages are decreasing over the last thirty years so many people here they don't have jobs due to me. and i do think that is the wrong thing to do is. over think and it's not just manufacturing work american i.t. companies and innovation jobs are also moving here in droves as well as huge

savings on wages many companies say india's fast growing economy and young workforce make it a desirable place to find staff there are amazingly talented people here in that part of the workforce and you know it's a matter of helping other other markets understand you know there are very talented people here who can do a lot of great work and it's not just about outsourcing and it's growth that these american companies don't anticipate will end anytime soon within the markets we have a good old boy from. last four years almost really person this last i think has produced nearly be would like to double our business four to five use a confidence not often found among their colleagues in the last preassure either r t new delhi india. r t's i cut short video reports are always lined up on line few on our you tube channel and we've got very good news about that too it's not we've now reached

we're going to talk weather now always a favorite here in moscow thankfully but earlier the heavens opened to dampened what was a sweltering heat wave temperatures today nearly hitting forty degrees in the capital memories of last summer's smoke covered city leaving a bit of a chill in the area because they're all for problems that. could push cova reports no somehow russia's wildfires are back with a vengeance spreading fear as well as flames. a whiff of smoke and moscow is in panic again the dockside cocktail of big smoke wood smoke and exhaust fumes that filled the capitol last august is still buried in people's memory intense b. book fires and the record heat waves were blamed for the dense smog that sent pollution levels soaring ten fold the authorities swore they would be prepared this year to find a place like this you don't have to go far from the capital best smoke is familiar to everyone who was in moscow last summer back then doctors said breathing in the

smoke that covered the city was equivalent to smoking a pack of cigarettes every hour now the question on everyone's mind is whether the smog misery is back again peed bongs may look harmless with just tiny flames on the surface but in fact every square meter requires a ton of water to extinguish the fire burning deep underground the value of whatever down why did it turn a small green bay has been able to surface may undermine or work a good thing with the authorities insist the situation is under control and most of the fries in moscow region have been successful extinguished however campaign is city officials are under reporting the extent of the problem both around moscow and across the country. and the situation has made it worse by the bureaucrats instead of reacted swiftly it bend all the time concealing the information about fires and does make it more difficult to get the bill on time but it would. campaigners say part of the problem is that the forests are being mistreated they say more needs to

be done to prevent fires by better management with summer at its peak remnants of camp fires are full of course the forest despite a ban introduced a month ago and there's only so much montes can do when i was driving into the forest that is seeing it from getting outside when you go up on there is a huge tax card at the entrance the record breaking heat of summer two thousand and ten resulted in devastating forest fires. it killed sixty two people destroyed one hundred in one thousand nine towns and reduced c.t.t. hundred houses to actions but i am so adept enough i was literally coming towards us who could hear the trees crackling they were burning and then who's the wind blew it the other way you were nuts this year most of the countries against weltering and the fires are raging one small large a reason forest have already been destroyed in russia's far east while parts of the north are already choking on smog and with all the still to go russians from the

capital to the countryside hoop the summer sun is dead league this time. r.t. moscow region. let me take you through three top world news stories this hour the ousted egyptian president is called to cairo for trial which is due to start in a week hosni mubarak faces charges of corruption and ordering the killing of protesters during the uprising that ousted him in february with barack faltering health had earlier raised concerns of this trial could be perspire held in the sinai was always undergoing treatment right now but adoption officials consider the ex-president is fit to attend court. the bombing said an iraqi bank where policemen were collecting paychecks from a northern town of to crete twelve people have been killed and dozens injured in the attack but it remains unclear how many officers were among them the twin blasts marked the fourth major attack on iraqi security forces this here now in jets at maty responsibility. now which is police have ended their search for the bodies of those killed in the massacre in

a toy island sixty eight people now confirmed dead from the shooting rampage people visiting there were morial at the tragedy the closest point to a toy the olive itself remains close because the best occasion to use. ati notat is closer to ram as foreign minister about the country's nuclear program and the possible ways out of deadlock. the worst the suspicious of iran's nuclear program what is iran doing to convince the west that you nuclear program is intended to serve peaceful purposes. the only international body that has the authority to evaluate our activities. a new state is allowed to accuse iran regarding its nuclear program i'd say i.e. a bank to raise or to initiate any international action against iran this is why we pay no attention to the west claims regarding our nuclear research iran is

a member of the i.a.e.a. and a party to the nonproliferation treaty iran is going to respect that treaty says nuclear nonproliferation is in our interests as well i confirm that iran has made its intentions quite clear with regard to its nuclear program proving that it is peaceful this is further reaffirmed by the fight with the i.a.e.a. did not state in any of its reports that there is any military activity going on in iran's nuclear sector as for their intentions how can the united states accuse us of pursuing non peaceful purposes while america itself was the first nation ever to use nuclear weapons killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in japan this is why we have no faith in america's intentions as history shows it cannot be trusted during our war with iraq saddam's regime used chemical weapons against iran but we did not respond in kind since iran's policy is based on shari'a law which forbids us from producing storing or using nuclear weapons at least

a foundation for our constitution our policies and their views. the west has insisted on establishing control over your own human richmond in iran while iran remains reluctant colon can this situation continue. the iran has reached a point in its nuclear research where it is impossible to stop or go back nuclear technologies have developed into a domestic industry becoming a fact of life for many iranians now that we have educated and trained thousands of nuclear scientists how can the west or the entire world stop us from enriching uranium us for how the situation is going to develop there is no limit to discussion dialogue and negotiation we see it as a test for ourselves for our patients and insurance throughout our history we have managed to prove to the world that iran does not give up in the face of suppression and still it we are ready to pay any price and withstand anything that is no point in being enemies with iran the more they threaten and pushes the more determined we

become to move on. what decision did you make following russia's proposal to settle the nuclear dossier issue what are the main provisions of this proposal. first of all i would like to thank russia for its constructive efforts aimed at finding a settlement to iran's nuclear program as far as we are concerned we consider this proposal to be a step forward for breaking the deadlock that's why we view russia's proposal as a positive step however while iran seeks a new initiative to settle its nuclear problem the west continues claims that iran is producing missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads this kind of behavior convinces us that the west does not want a fair solution that it wants to iran to succumb to western influence and obey its orders that iran is ready for negotiation and cooperation with any parties in accordance with. rules based on a new initiative to be put forward. what can you say regarding the u.s.

relations does iran intend to resume them. i mean we have stated time and again that iran wants to have good reasonable relations with all countries except for the zionist state as for their relations with washington they will depend upon us actions towards iran if they remain hostile there will be no relations full stop however if washington changes attitude toward iran and he places a still a he with a sense of equality respect for iran's sovereignty and independence then the essence of our relations will chines unfortunately there is no evidence that the u.s. is ready to put an end to its enmity against iran america's actions in its wars against afghanistan and iraq speak for themselves innocent civilians are being killed in most countries certainly what i am seeing does not apply to the american people we respect the people of america and the american public for their enormous contribution to global industrial and technological development therefore i address

my words the u.s. government and i believe that its policies and reasonable and based on the logic of force this is absolutely unacceptable to you around. let's take a look at what's going on in syria how is the situation in syria different from that in iran. i mean it that it has fired a serious concern and we should carry out an accurate and reasonable analysis of what has been happening in that country iran supports any mass revolutionary action as long as the pursuit legitimate demands as was the case in tunisia egypt yemen or any other country but only on condition the such protest activity should be free of foreign interference iran does not tolerate meddling in other country's internal affairs with regard to its own foreign policies what we see here is a clear picture of foreign involvement serving colonialist interests the present government of serbia and particularly president assad had pledged to ensure the citizens' rights and they have delivered on a lot of their promises syria plays

a very important role in the region it has significant influence in the middle east being at the forefront of resistance against the zionist state and the pressure currently exerted on syria is directly related to this country's role in such resistance you can be sure that if syria were to manifestly give up this rule the pressure and the sanctions against it would cease immediately but i am sure that syria will make it through this difficult period and preserve its position in the region. the palestinians are currently intending to persuade the international community to recognize the postilion state in its nine hundred sixty seven borders what is iran's attitude towards this issue do you support the palestinians and their policies. we are convinced that the whole of the palestinian land belongs to all palestinians and we will not accept anything that would involve a mere part of palestine we will only accept a single and divided palestine in iran's opinion palestine belongs to the

palestinians regardless of whether they are muslims christians or g.d.s. therefore we welcome and support any measures aimed at bringing about a palestine for all palestinians. last time the close of team was in the cool down region where men flock from all over the world out a few centimeters to their self-confidence. if this time r.t. goes to the world reaching. for the gold rush still gets people hiked zero. for an engine try flights to save its culture. where cranes are protected in the first and only official nature reserve. to the region. bush will close
